Fetch Additional information from profile on external page

[jap]

Hi,

How do I fetch additional information from a user by using the user id? Fetching the username etc is not a problem... but I can't figure out how the additional fields system work...

Is there a mod for this or can anyone explain me how I can fetch this data and/or build the SQL?

Thanks
Jasper

The signed in user info can be accessed by using

PHP Code:

$bbuserinfo[] 


within a template.
The signed in user info can be accessed in the php file by

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->userinfo[] 


view all the user info with

PHP Code:

print_r($vbulletin->userinfo); 


in your php file. All the keys with that object are there. IE. the userid is $bbuserinfo[userid] or $vbulletin->userinfo[userid];

i pass an

PHP Code:

$post[userid] 


(userid from a post) via a GET request in the URL and use

PHP Code:

$tid = fetch_userinfo($_GET[id]); 


to get that users information in the target php file. this is identicle in structure to the $vbulletin->userinfo object.


if you are just looking to add the additional profile fields to a template then

PHP Code:

$post[field#]  or $bbuserinfo[field#] 


are what you need to add. Remember: $post is the posters data. and $bbuserinfo is the logged in user.
